20G 1st Gear March 12, 2013 Share March 12, 2013 You make it sound like you need an SUV, but why? I cannot think of a good reason for an SUV in Singapore, or are you thinking of takign the car off road in Malaysia. Also Skoda have a SUV called the Yeti, which is highly rated, by Top gear. so wat if its highly rated by top gear? if the car got fault or prob after u bought it are they going to be liable for the repairs? dun understand why ppl like to quote top gear say this good say that good. dun buyers hv a mind of their own when making judgement for their purchase? fook that gay jeremy clarkson for his dumb comments on cars. his comments are biased most often anyway. hee hee btw, yeti is one of the fooking ugliest car money can buy out there. lol! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echelon 3rd Gear March 12, 2013 Author Share March 12, 2013 Underneath a Audi/VW is a Skoda......turn the tables around. Love the ride - if there was a bigger YETI - would consider. The reviews online about the KIA Sorento has nothing but amazing, a lot of good recommendations and comments about the drive, power and equipment level, only complaint is the hard plastics, options wise, 2nd to none as Kia almost threw in the kitchen sink plus 5 years unlimited mileage warranty. That is pretty cool. Of course diesel, with 436NM of torque is enough to make anyone happy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othello Supersonic March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 Can this diesel sorento travel in malaysia ? good qns! see below, although they never state diesel specifically (As there were NO diesel private vehicles in the past and commercial vehicles not allowed into JB) I would think that diesel cars are also subjected to the rule and if someone tries to reason it out, the Customs will just amend this rule. Three-quarter Tank Rule If you are departing in a Singapore-registered motor vehicle, the motor vehicle must have at least three-quarter tank full of motor fuel supply tank. As this rule applies to all dutiable fuels, the driver of a petrol-CNG vehicle should ensure that the petrol fuel tank and the CNG fuel tank are both at least three-quarter full. If the motor vehicle did not meet the rule, the driver can be prosecuted in court and fined up to $500. For more information on Customs offences, please click here.

Volk74 Neutral Newbie March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 Hi guys, Nice to see the old birds still active here. Suddenly got interested in the Yeti, that is why come in to see any info on it. Wah, quite pathetic to see Skoda has only 1 car sold since 2013. For those who dont know me, I drove an Octy before changing to Astra H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echelon 3rd Gear March 17, 2013 Author Share March 17, 2013 This is a shot of the rims and tyres - Falken 225/40 cost $240 per piece less than 1000km. Practically new. Letting go at $180 per pc. You can take the RIMS - BBS - has scar marks around it. Super sporty look, bought them at nearly 3k. Make me an offer I cant refuse. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
